Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA SPA
Dem holden Lenzgeschmeide,
Der Rose, meiner Freude,
Die schon gebeugt und blasser
Vom heißen Strahl der Sonnen,
Reich' ich den Becher Wasser
Aus [tiefem]1 Bronnen.
Du Rose meines Herzens!
Vom stillen Strahl des Schmerzens
Bist du gebeugt und blasser;
Ich möchte dir zu Füßen,
Wie dieser Blume Wasser,
Still meine Seele gießen!
Könnt' ich dann auch nicht sehen
Dich [auferstehen]2.

Mijn roos
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)
Het mooie lentesieraad,
De roos, mijn harteweldaad,
Reeds omgeknikt en bleker,
Door 't zonvuur overwonnen,
Reik ik de waterbeker
[Uit diepe]1 bronnen.
Jij roos, mijn zielsgewijde!
De stille straal van 't lijden
Maakte jou krom en bleker;
Ik goot graag aan je voeten
Mijn ziel leeg als een beker,
Daar bloemen drinken moeten!
Al is 't mij niet gegeven,
Jou [op te zien]2 leven.
